Hand ID

The phone, however, comes with a really cool feature – the Hand ID.

The LG G8 ThinQ has a special Time-of-Flight (ToF) camera on the front. This sensor gathers information from the hemoglobin in your blood and renders a unique image of your veins inside your hand. Hovering your hand over the camera, you won’t need to touch your phone at all to unlock it.

Hand ID builds into another feature called Air Motion. Because the phone’s front camera can track and read your hand movements, you can interface with the phone in a whole new, touchless way.

LG didn’t release any availability dates or pricing yet. Keep following us for more updates.
